Not sure what to say?

I've got to add one more thing, and I hope her grandson Garrett sees this. About a month before Aunt Margaret went to the hospital, she was telling me over the phone that she had bought 3 doz. ears of corn while it was on sale at Publix. She said she was going to cut it off the cob and freeze it. I said to her"Aunt M why do you put yourself to all that trouble as bad as you feel"? She said "Cause Garrett loves creamed corn, and I like to fix it for him when he's here". I can't believe the...

Lamar and Gwenith, I was sorry to learn about Margaret's passing. I wish I had kept in touch but didn't do it, I'm so sorry. I will pray for ya'll.
I am out of town or I would have attended the services.

My favorite Aunt, who was always there for me. My first memory of her was when I was 7 years old and she was making fudge in a big round cast iron pan in Grandma's kitchen on Albany Ave in Waycross. She has always loved to make fudge. She was such a good cook and love to feed people. She was a doer and shaker. Very independant, still driving herself to her doctor's appointments and treatments up until a few weeks before she was hospitalized.
I always loved her pretty clothes and thought...

She was a good Aunt. Click on " Life Stories".

We would visit with Aunt Margaret every summer my entire childhood. She was always combing the beach for shark's teeth and by the end of vacation would have Solo cups full of them. I never found a single one. She will be missed.

Aunt Margaret and Uncle Talmadge were always very special. I remember the first time I met them...I was nervous, being a newlywed and meeting my husband's family for the first time. They gave me warm hugs and welcomed me.I will always remember them fondly. Rest in peace Margaret.

I have fond memories of visiting Aunt Margaret and Uncle Talmadge at their home on Provost Road.They always welcomed us with open arms and plenty to eat. Rest in peace.
